The NBA champion told Jimmy Kimmel Tuesday that he and his dad lost a golf match to President Barack Obama on the 18th hole. “It’s probably for the best though because you don’t want to get audited or something like that,” said Kimmel on the loss. “You don’t want to mess the president.” Still, golfing with Obama had its perks. The president drove Curry around in the golf cart, Curry said. When it came time to actually golf, Curry told Kimmel that Obama engaged in trash talk to distract his golfing partners. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4002848/stephen-curry-jimmy-kimmel/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4002848/stephen-curry-jimmy-kimmel/"},"headline":"Watch Stephen Curry Tell Jimmy Kimmel What It's Like Playing Golf with Obama","datePublished":"2015-08-19T11:51:32.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:23:35.458Z","description":"\"You don't want to mess the president\"","url":"https://time.com/4002848/stephen-curry-jimmy-kimmel/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb90c8c7a7ac23ace/69885feff887dc7cc2e91efe/stephen-curry-jimmy-kimmel.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Justin Worland","jobTitle":"Senior Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/justin-worland/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb90c8c7a7ac23ace/69885feff887dc7cc2e91efe/stephen-curry-jimmy-kimmel.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Stephen Curry Jimmy Kimmel","caption":"Stephen Curry Jimmy Kimmel","creditText":"ABC","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4002848/stephen-curry-jimmy-kimmel/","name":"Watch Stephen Curry Tell Jimmy Kimmel What It's Like Playing Golf with Obama"}}]}] ```
